Fenghou

Chapter 674 Blood Alliance

There is indeed no impenetrable wall in the world. Three days after Tang Qian raided the first manor, the owner of the manor, the imperial historian Bari Zuren, got the news, but Bari Zuren did not tell Brother Richard about it, he knew it very well. Brother Li Cha's shamelessness, once Li Cha knows about it, he will definitely use it to make a fuss, taking the opportunity to embezzle everyone's slaves and money.

Barry Zuren called more than a dozen dignitaries overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Li Kan, the king of Changping, said angrily: "Who knows that the king of Jin is greedy, most of the wealth of Tuoba Aqu, the king of Chu, fell into his pocket, and the white jade tripod given to the king of Chu by the late emperor is openly placed in the living room of his house. He simply wrote the words 'despicable and shameless' on his forehead."

Xia Jinfeng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also said: "Actually, it's not just the wealth of the King of Chu. This time, it is said that all the gold, silver and jewels were transported into the Prince Jin's mansion, and [-] carts were pulled."

"It's not rumored, it's true!"

The privy envoy Cao Baozong said at the side: "My subordinates in the army told me that the gold, silver and jewels piled up in three large tents were transported away overnight by the soldiers of the King of Jin. There were a total of fifty-two carts. The emperor also knew about this. , the Son of Heaven summoned King Jin to reprimand him, and the matter will be settled."

Barry Zuren said worriedly: "The problem now is that the Song army may also be eyeing our wealth. My southernmost manor has been swept away, Zhuang Ding is dead, and the food and slaves have also been taken away. Fortunately, I The money from the money was not placed in the south manor, what do you think should be done?"

Changping Wang Li Kan asked, "Is it the manor in Shajiao to the south?"

"Exactly!"

Li Kan frowned, "But my manor is also in Shajiao. My housekeeper came over this morning. My manor has not been attacked! I just said that a Song army team is looking for a ship. Is it because there are Fifteen ships were targeted by them."

Barry Zuren was stunned for a moment. Li Kan's manor was only five miles away from his manor, but Li Kan's manor was fine. Could it be because of the boat?
"It may be the reason, but I'm not sure."

Li Kan asked Xia Jinfeng again: "Xia Shangshu, is there any news from the Kingdom of Jin?"

Of course, Li Kan did not ask Jin Guo to reinforce Xixia, but asked them to take refuge in Jin Guo. These Xixia dignitaries are not stupid. If they have no way out, they will definitely support the court to fight against Song State, but the problem is that they have a way out, of course. It is impossible to donate the family property to the imperial court.

Xia Jinfeng nodded, "I was also looking for an opportunity to tell everyone that Wanyan Talan has agreed for us to take refuge in the Kingdom of Jin, on the condition that we donate [-]% of our property. We can choose where to go, either go to Beijing, or Datong Mansion, or Yunnei Prefecture, I consider going to Datong Mansion first, I have already sent someone to look at the house in Datong Mansion."

Barry Zuren hesitated for a moment and said: "The [-]% problem is not a big problem. The key is whether Jin Guo will keep his promise or slaughter us like sheep."

Xia Jinfeng said with a smile: "Jurchens generally keep their promises. I estimate that they will give [-]% to the Jin Dynasty court and [-]% to the local government. Basically, they will be able to settle down."

"Then when can we leave?" the crowd asked again.

"I'm going to ask the eldest son to move some of the belongings there after the house is settled. If you want to go, you should hurry up and settle the house first. I don't know if there will be time."

Everyone looked at Cao Baozong together. He is a privy envoy and has a better understanding of the current war situation.

Cao Baozong bowed his head and thought for a while; "I am also inclined to King Changping's opinion. The attack on Shajiao Manor was just an accident. It should be the work of a small group of Song army scouts. According to the current situation, the Song army's siege supplies cannot We transported them here. At the beginning, we manufactured siege weapons in Lanzhou. They occupied Mingsha County, so they could only manufacture siege weapons on the spot in Mingsha County.

Therefore, according to the judgment of the Privy Council, the Song army will start to attack the city from this winter to next spring. That is to say, we still have two months at most. You can go directly to Datong from Montenegro. "

Heishan refers to the Heishan Weifu Army Division, the northernmost territory of Xixia, which is the Zhongtao Plain of the Yellow River. Xixia has several military cities there.

Everyone agreed with Cao Baozong's suggestion, and Bari Zuren added: "The wheat harvest will start in one month. After the wheat is harvested, the slaves and the wheat will also be transferred there. At that time, the slaves will be sent to the Kingdom of Jin. At least it can offset the property of the local government."

"Yes!"

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

Changping Wang Li Kan waved his hand to calm everyone down, "I have three suggestions, first, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and Brother Li Cha must never know, second, we need to sign a blood alliance and join our retreat For the plan, we must prick the blood to join, and everyone advances and retreats together; third, everyone will start preparations when we go back, and three days later, we will start to evacuate the first batch of property, Brother Cao, do you want to say hello to Montenegro?"

Cao Baozong smiled and said: "No problem, I will send someone to Montenegro to deliver the letter tomorrow morning, and my brother will come to meet everyone."

Although they were the only ones talking, in fact there were more than a dozen dignitaries sitting beside them, they just couldn't get in their mouths.

Everyone immediately drafted a letter of alliance, and the eighteen dignitaries present each pricked their fingers, pressed bloody fingerprints, and signed their names below, promising to keep the secret strictly, and everyone advances and retreats together.

Before dawn, a few people rushed to the west gate of Xingqing City in a panic. The leader rushed to the bottom of the city and shouted: "I am the chief steward of King Jin's Tianlu Manor. If there is an emergency, I need to report to King Jin. Please open the city quickly." Door!"

The soldiers guarding the city reported to the general on duty. Since he was the chief steward of the King of Jin, the general did not dare to neglect and ordered him to be shaken up.

The gate of the city requires a warrant from the emperor or the king of Jin to enter and leave the city at night, but there is also a special method. There is an iron chain hanging board next to the city gate. People stand on the wooden board, grab the iron chain, and use a wheel to shake people up from the top of the city.

The chief steward of Tianlu Manor and several followers were shaken to the top of the wall, and the guard asked, "Is something wrong with the manor?"

"Something has happened. Tens of thousands of cavalry from the Song Army attacked Tianlu Manor yesterday afternoon."

"Ah! Then go and report to King Jin."

The chief steward led his men down the city, and hurried to the Prince Jin's mansion.

Brother Li Cha, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by his subordinates, and he asked sleepily, "What's the matter?"

"The manager of Anda came and said that something happened to the manor."

Brother Li Cha suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, sat up and said, "Where is he? Quickly bring him up."

Manager An Da is a Sogdian who has worked for Brother Li Cha for [-] years and has won the trust of Brother Li Cha.

Not long after, An Yangui, the chief steward of the manor, was brought in, and he fell to the ground crying, "My lord, the manor is over!"

Brother Li Cha was so anxious that he patted the table, "Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

"Yesterday afternoon, [-] to [-] cavalry suddenly rushed into the manor. The Zhuang Ding was caught off guard and was slaughtered by them. I escaped from the tunnel with two young stewards and hid in the reeds. We dared to come out after dark and found a pair of leather rafts. Cross the Yellow River!"

Brother Li Cha was stunned and asked for a while, "Are you sure it's twenty or thirty thousand people, not two or three thousand?"

"It's [-] to [-] cavalry, otherwise our Zhuang Ding would not have been slaughtered overwhelmingly."

Brother Li Cha was right when he thought about it, his Zhuang Ding had [-] people, but they were massacred one-sidedly, which shows how many people there are.

His heart suddenly throbbed. He had acquired too much wealth recently, and the mansion couldn't put it down, so he transferred all the grain, sheepskins, and copper coins to Tianlu Manor, and there were tens of thousands of slaves. , [-] copper coins, more than [-] pieces of high-quality sheepskins, medicinal materials, precious wood, bronze wares, and even [-] large ships. It's all over.

Brother Li Cha is a well-known miser in Xixia. He is extremely greedy for money. He has a nickname called Brother Ajian. He has accumulated a lot of wealth in his life and is known as the richest man in Xixia. Brother Li Cha was heartbroken.

He grabbed his chest and was about to faint. Several concubines hurriedly supported him, "My lord! My lord!"

Brother Li Cha waved his hand and slowly calmed himself down. He suddenly realized a problem. He also deployed three sentry teams to the south. The Song Army dispatched [-] cavalry to go north. Why didn't he get any news?
He hurriedly asked: "Is there an emergency military situation last night?"

The steward shook his head, "There is no urgent military situation sent!"

"What about the general military situation?" Brother Li Cha asked again.

"Reporting to the prince, it was very quiet last night, and no information was sent."

its not right!Even if there is no urgent military situation, general military situation should have been sent. I have explained that I have to report the Song Army's movements every day.

Brother Li Cha suddenly realized that the three sentinel teams he deployed might have been killed by the Song Army.
